Activation & Analyst

Activation & Change Analyst

We are seeking an Activation & Change Analyst. You will be joining us in building Oliver Wyman's new hub in Lisbon.

This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

As part of its continued evolution, Oliver Wyman is delivering a multi-year, firmwide transformation to embed advanced digital and technology-enabled capabilities into how the firm operates and delivers value. This enterprise-wide initiative spans product development, technology convergence, activation and change, communications, and regional execution across teams and geographies.

We are seeking an Activation & Change Analyst to support the day-to-day execution of global change and adoption efforts within this major transformation.

Working closely with the Activation & Change Manager and senior program leadership, you will play a key role in ensuring that new tools, workflows, and capabilities are effectively introduced, communicated, and embedded into day-to-day ways of working across consulting and support populations.

This role requires strong analytical capability, attention to detail, and the ability to translate product and program inputs into clear, practical activation materials and plans. You will operate with a high degree of ownership, coordinating across stakeholders, tracking adoption activities, and ensuring follow-through across regions and teams.

In a typical week, you might consolidate regional activation updates into a clear adoption dashboard, prepare materials to support a product launch, track engagement metrics, or coordinate follow-ups to ensure agreed actions are progressing. This role offers exposure to a fast-evolving, enterprise-scale transformation and close collaboration with senior stakeholders across product, program, communications, and regional teams.

We will count on you to:

• Support the execution of activation and change plans aligned with product releases and major transformation milestones
• Track activation waves, milestones, and regional rollout activities, ensuring visibility on progress, risks, and dependencies
• Consolidate inputs from product, communications, and regional teams into clear, integrated views of adoption status
• Prepare leadership-ready materials (e.g., adoption dashboards, updates, briefing packs), translating operational detail into implications and actions
• Coordinate closely with regional stakeholders to ensure alignment on timing, messaging, and readiness
• Track engagement and adoption metrics, identifying trends and surfacing insights to improve effectiveness
• Follow up on actions and decisions from activation forums, ensuring accountability and momentum
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of activation processes, playbooks, and tools

Experience

Required:

• 3+ years of experience in change, transformation, consulting, project support, or analytical roles
• Experience supporting rollout, enablement, or adoption initiatives in complex organizations is preferred
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, with the ability to structure information clearly and manage multiple work streams in parallel
• Advanced proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel; comfort working with trackers, dashboards, and collaboration tools
• Experience working across multiple stakeholders and teams is preferred
